If you apply to go fully remote, that's not temporary.
- hinkley 5y agoWho approved that application? Your old manager?
- paxys 5y agoOnly 20% of Google staff even has that option, and not all of them get approved. The vast majority will not be able to work remotely.
- UncleMeat 5y agoI'm not aware of any engineering org that bans it, except smaller groups within orgs that are working on hardware. Where is your 20% number coming from?
- Sebguer 5y agoWell, you can probably start with the fact that the person you're replying to never said 20% of engineers.
- joshuamorton 5y agoEngineering is well over 20% of Google staff, so the point stands, and isn't the only org to allow remote work.
- UncleMeat 5y agoI know. But SWEs and SREs account for way more than 20% of employees, so even if you just look at them the "only 20%" figure is clearly wrong.
- ehsankia 5y ago> Only 20% of Google staff even has that option Around 15-20% have gone remote, are you claiming that 100% of the people who had the option have taken it? Are you including TVCs?
